A Beauty Find: Another Score for Vaseline

shefinds | Style

Why: Every fall, when the mercury drops markedly for the first time, three things happen: (1) I get the insatiable urge to buy cute new jackets and boots, (2) I break out my cozy flannel sheets and, (3) my skin gets really, really dry. It's that time of year again and that third, not-so-great thing is happening. Luckily, I found this new gel body oil from Vaseline. Packed with yummy cocoa butter, almond and brazil nut oils, it sounds and smells more like a tasty treat than a skin-healing miracle, but one post-bath application had my skin looking dewey and feeling silky. I was wary of the grease factor at first, but the gel liquifies on contact and goes on in a thin, but moisturizing coat with zero grease. Plus, my skin, newly hydrated and energized with all the essential oils, reflects light so the last remnants of my summer tan live on.
